Université de Montpellier. Howard was appointed assistant professor of Botany at McGill University in 1961. He was appointed to the faculty at the University of Washington on March 15, 1963 and worked until he died on September 16, 2007, at the age of 76.[1][2]

Work

Whisler had great admiration for

hyperparasitic organism that attacks ‘’Saprolegnia’’.[4]

Whisler was an active member of the Mycological Society of America. He was also a founder of the International Society of Evolutionary Protistology with Max Taylor and Lynn Margulis.[2]

Whisler taught a number of graduate students who worked on aquatic fungi. He also followed Emerson's tradition of allowing his students to be sole authors on papers from his lab even though his direction and collaboration were often an important component of the research. So when counted his publication, this articles must be included.
